Management Skills Workshop: Constructive Conflict

Disagreements and different views are inevitable, both in business and in life.  Then why is it that we are having such a hard time to deal with conflict in a reasonable, constructive way? Where does all the drama come from?  This workshop shows how we can engage with conflict in a way that leads to better outcomes. 

Management Skills Workshoop: Job Interviews

Job interviews are high pressure situations for even the most qualified candidates. So much depends on how you come across and what impression you make. This workshop helps you approach job interviews in a way that reduces the stress and increases your chances of you ending up at the top of the list. Note: this workshop is designed for job candidates, not for recruiters.

Emerging Markets Debt: Seizing the Moment

We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming evening conference, dedicated to Emerging Markets Debt (EMD), where we will discuss the current market opportunities. Investing in EM debt offers the potential for higher yields, diversification, and capital appreciation, supported by resilient growth, improving fundamentals and a favourable global environment. While investors should remain mindful of risks such as political volatility, currency fluctuations and global market dynamics, EM debt has also demonstrated remarkable resilience over time. We therefore believe that investors should consider a strategic allocation to emerging market (EM) debt as part of a diversified portfolio. Our guest speaker, Didier Lambert, Head of Emerging Market Local Currency Debt at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, will walk you through the changing nature of this market and our outlook for the asset class. This event is an opportunity to deepen your understanding of EMD and explore how it can support your objectives in 2026. The presentation will be followed by a networking cocktail

Private Credit: Income & Opportunity Navigating the evolving spectrum of private credit

After an insightful session with Raman Rajagopal in October 2025, we are keen to continue the discussion with Kevin Petrovcik, Managing Director and Senior Client Portfolio Manager, who will provide a strategic overview of today’s private credit landscape, including an update on the global senior loan market and the expanding opportunity set across the asset class. During the session, we will explore: • A Practical Evaluation Framework: How to assess private credit strategies across geographies, structures, and the risk/return continuum. • Stable Returns with Manageable Risk: Why Senior Secured Loans have remained a cornerstone allocation for professional investors, supported by strong fundamentals and attractive risk-adjusted income. • The Upper Middle Market Advantage: How this segment is benefiting from structural lender demand, disciplined underwriting, and a robust opportunity pipeline, and where the Upper Middle Market fund can play a role within diversified private credit portfolios. This presentation aims to provide a clear and actionable perspective on where opportunities lie today and how investors can position portfolios for the next phase of the credit cycle. The presentation will be followed by a networking cocktail.

Management Skills Workshop: Public Speaking

Whether it’s speaking up in a large meeting or standing on stage in front of an audience: your impact depends not just on the words you choose, but on a whole set of other factors. This workshop raises your self-awareness and helps you become more convincing, and more comfortable, when speaking in public.

Management Skills Workshop: Personality Types

We are all aware that different people have different preferences, different habits, and different ways of working and communicating. But that insight itself does not make working together across all those differences any easier. So if you don’t want to wait for everybody to see the light and become more like you, this workshop can help you understand and deal with different personality traits. That way you can literally “work well with (almost) anyone”.

Management Skills Workshop: Executive Presence

Executive presence may be a bit of a mysterious competence, but it is definitely not a physical trait like height or the color of your eyes. It is a fascinating set of attitudes, concepts, and behaviors. It can be studied, practiced, learned and taught - and it’s worth making a deliberate effort to get to the next level. If you are playing a role in your organization, playing it well is worth some extra effort.
